Little Miss Sweets is here! She was 5 days early and once she decided to come, boy did she come quickly! I’ll spare the details (although if you REALLY want to know, ask Chris to describe water breaking), but she arrived safe and sound at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 5th, 2010. 6 pounds 15 oz, 19 inches long.

Chris and I both have good intentions to write blog after blog after blog about our experiences so far, but we’re just 1) too tired to sit in front of a computer to type anything lengthy, 2) too in love with her…we just want to STARE at her little half-Chris, half-Katie face. Literally. The top half of her face is Daddy. The bottom half, Mommy. She got Daddy’s rockin hair and beautiful skin tone, and let’s just say that when the time comes, Mommy is going to have to give Eisley pointers on how to make her lips appear fuller. Sigh. Sorry, Sugar.

She is wonderful and amazing and hilarious and snuggable and adorable and precious and floppy and snorty and sweet and delicious.

As I’m typing this, she is in my arms gazing up at me, breathing rhythmically and smelling like milk and Burt’s Bees lotion.  Chris and I are humbled by her perfection. Who are we to have been given such an amazing gift? Lord, may we never forget how You provided for us. Thank You for our amazing Princess Eisley, aka Sugar Buns, Eisey, Munch, Peanut, Little B.

The above photo is one of my favorites. I snapped it with my phone after a walk on Monday. Eisley and Lilly of the Valley: two of my favorite things.  More photos of Sugar Bean to come.
